ABSTRACT:
Oscillation/rotation patterns for improving the off-axis homogeneity of fused silica boules are provided. The patterns reduce the optical effects of periodic off-axis striae by decreasing the ratio of .DELTA.n.sub.striae to .DELTA.z.sub.striae, where .DELTA.n.sub.striae is the average peak-to-valley magnitude of the striae and .DELTA.z.sub.striae is their average peak-to-peak period. The oscillation/rotation patterns have long repeat periods and cause soot-producing burners to trace out substantially spiral-shaped patterns on the surface of the boule.
